Our stay the "friends hotel" was a great stay. We couldnt ask for better hosts, dot was so nice, making sure we had everything we needed. Rooms where what to expect for the price. We opted to have our evening meals there. Both breakfast and evening meals where very good, being asked what we wanted the evening before, with plenty to choice to choose. We are already thinking about coming to visit Blackpool again and would definitely choose to stay at this b&b

Lovely little getaway

First time staying here and would definitely recommend. Dot the new owner and her husband greeted us on arrival and are really friendly and accommodating. We were asked what time we wanted breakfast and alongside cereal etc, we could have any hot options we liked. We had a slight issue with our room but Dot sorted it straight away and we had no other problems whatsoever. The family room we had was great for us and the dog and our sons room next door was spacious,clean and tidy too. We went as strangers and left as friends. Location is fantastic, just a 10 minute walk to the seafront and town centre.

An Excellent Stay in Blackpool.

I had an excellent stay in Blackpool! The accommodation was fantastic. From the moment I arrived, the space was welcoming, comfortable, and well-maintained. Every detail seemed to be thoughtfully considered, making it a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Whether it was the cozy rooms, great amenities, or the friendly atmosphere, it exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Blackpool!

From start to finish staying at friends hotel was a joy. Dot,the owner is wonderful and making your stay a happy one is important to her.our room was well decorated, comfortable and the fridge was a great addition. The bed is so comfy we didn't want to leave it. Breakfast was huge and delicious. Friends hotel is definitely pet friendly and Dot made a huge fuss over our dog Toby who fell in love with her. Our only regret was that we didn't know about friends hotel before this. What more could you possibly want, its near everything, its like staying with a favourite auntie, you may arrive as a stranger but you leave as a friend. Definitely recommend.
